Well since buying the van I've been kinda busy collecting bits and pieces to complete the pimping. Now its been kitted out with an additional 4 channel amp to run the speakers, 5 band equaliser and an MP3 head unit on the audio side. Video wise it has an 18" LCD screen, inverter and xbox.

I did a formal in it last week and people seemed suitably impressed. ;)

Performance has been helped out by a decent service and tune-up, and a turbosmart BOV. I've also whipped off the mags that came with it and put the 13" rims from the MB on it - which means that I'll consider selling the old ones if anyone is interested.
They're 13x5" with a 43+ offset, perfect for an MB - tyres are all fine, one has a bit of scrubbing on the edge.

Oh, and another TAMON member (Scott) has picked up a 1990 SuperCarry which I'll get some pics of as we pimp it out. :D

That goes in after I've fitted the bigger alternator and battery. :) The current electrical system is struggling!

Brayden, I think to be ultimately cool with your Every, you need to go in this direction

Retro Kombi Carry!

I think it's funny that everyone hates Hitler just like the conservatives tell them to but they still love their Nazi cars. :D

For what little it's worth, I think the Every pictured is pretty neat Mr Gray. :wink:

However I would never go doing that to Braydens...

I was actually thinking about this exact topic yesterday when I passed a neat old Combi van. Sadly I don't think that my intercooler would look too flash smack bang in the middle of a VW style front end. ;)
